I have just received "Half Past Dead" on region one DVD from Future Entertainment. I orderd it as the only way I was able to watch it prior to this was on a badly pirated VHS tape, which seemed to be originally sourced from a hand-held camera inside a cinema showing the movie. I think this affected my overall view of the movie. However, on a proper region one disc I quite enjoyed it, even though it is far from his best and his fight scenes are not terribly good. I thought Ja Rule really added something to the film and had good rapport with Seagal, I would even say that he is the best rapper turned actor Seagal has worked with. Although the film does rely too much on editing gimmicks and flashy camera work (probably the fault of first time director Don Michael Paul) it is still a reasonably entertaining watch.
I still think "The Foreigner" is better, and it should have got a theatrical release rather than "Half Past Dead".
Peace.
